That 1066 would be tons of overkill for a 15 foot mower. We use a Ford 6600 (somewhere in the 60 hp range I believe) to run a 20 foot batwing. It does just fine, unless you really get yourself bogged down in super super thick thistle, when you have to clutch.
That 1066 would run a fifteen foot mower through anything in any gear.
A general rule of thumb as far as mowing goes, is use the smallest tractor you can - mainly because it will save on mower wear to have fewer hp transmitted through the driveshafts/gearboxes/etc. Mowers also take a lot of work to keep up, in the way of fixing U-joints, welding broken decks, etc.
Good luck getting everything figured out!
